Agenda

1. Learning Logs- Update

2. Visual Text: Hinged White Poem Dress by Lesley dill
The dress is a sculpture with words from Emily Dickinson's poem "I heard as if I had no Ear" cut into its surface. The dress is hinged so it can be opened and closed, though it is too heavy for any person to actually wear, we can imagine it as metaphorical clothing.
  • Work with your partner to answer the analysis questions, be prepared to share.
  • On the back of your analysis questions, work with your partner to figure out the author's claim and one piece of evidence that supports the claim with elaboration. Consider the color, words, materials and what they imply when you put them all together.
